Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Brillengestell gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches.The invention relates to an eyeglass frame according to the Preamble of the main claim.

Derartige Brillengestelle sind aus der US-PS 5 115 540 bekannt, und mit derartigen Gelenken ausgestattete Brillengestelle haben den Vorteil, daß eine horizontale Bewegbarkeit der Brillenbügel gegeben ist, wodurch erreicht wird, daß ein nach außen gerichteter Druck auf den Brillenbügel in seiner Tragestellung nicht sofort zu einer starken Belastung des Brillenscharniers führt, sondern daß der Brillenbügel nach außen horizontal leicht beweglich ausgebildet ist und so den Druck abfängt.Such glasses frames are from the U.S. Patent 5,115,540, and with such joints equipped eyeglass frames have the advantage that given a horizontal mobility of the temple is what is achieved is that to the outside directed pressure on the temple in his Carrying position does not immediately become a heavy burden of the hinge of glasses, but that the eyeglass temple can be easily moved horizontally outwards is trained and so intercepts the pressure.

Das in der US-PS 5 115 540 beschriebene Scharnier ermöglicht jedoch keine vertikale Bewegbarkeit des Brillenbügels, d. h. von oben bzw. von unten auf den Brillenbügel gerichtete Kräfte werden an das Gelenk bzw, das übrige Brillengestell weitergeleitet und führen zu einem Brechen bzw. zu einem vorzeitigen Verschleiß des Brillengestells bzw. zu einem Lockern der Schraube des Glasschließblockes.The hinge described in U.S. Patent 5,115,540 does not allow vertical movement of the Eyeglass temple, d. H. from above or from below onto the Eyeglass temple forces are applied to the joint or, the rest of the spectacle frame passed on and lead to breakage or premature Wear of the eyeglass frame or loosening the screw of the glass lock block.

Aus der US-PS 3 049 974 und der EP 0 426 006 A2 sind Brillengestelle bekannt, die eine besondere Schwenkbarkeit eines Brillenbügels ermöglichen, jedoch nicht verhindern können, daß sämtliche auf den Brillenbügel einwirkenden Kräfte direkt auf das Brillengestell übertragen werden.From US Pat. No. 3,049,974 and EP 0 426 006 A2 Eyeglass frames known that have a special swiveling enable a temple, however can not prevent that everyone on the Forces acting directly on the glasses Glasses frame can be transferred.

Aus der US-PS 1 084 064 ist ein Brillengestell bekannt, das aufgrund eines Kugelgelenkes eine beliebige Einstellung der Brillenbügel ermöglicht, jedoch muß das Kugelgelenk zum Tragen des Brillengestelles verstarrt werden, so daß die auf dem Brillenbügel aufwirkenden Kräfte direkt auf das Kugelgelenk bzw. das Brillengestell übertragen werden.A spectacle frame is known from US Pat. No. 1,084,064. any due to a ball joint Adjustment of the temple allows, however the ball joint must be used to carry the eyeglass frame be rigidified so that the on the Forces acting directly on the frame Transfer the ball joint or the glasses frame will.

Aus der FR-PS 950 199 ist ein Gelenk für ein Brillengestell bekannt, das zwar eine gewisse vertikale Bewegbarkeit der Brillenbügel gewährleistet, wenn jedoch der Brillenbügel in seiner Tragestellung weiter nach außen gedrückt wird, werden diese Kräfte wiederum unmittelbar auf das Gelenk bzw. das Brillengestell übertragen.FR-PS 950 199 is a joint for one Spectacle frame known, although a certain vertical Movability of the temples ensures however, when the temple is in its position is pushed further out, these forces again directly on the joint or the Glasses frame transferred.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Brillengestell zu schaffen, bei dem die auf die Brillenbügel aufwirkenden Kräfte lediglich eine vertikale bzw. horizontale Bewegung entgegen einer Federkraft des Bügelgelenkes bewirken, um so das Bügelgelenk bzw. das übrige Brillengestell zu schonen.The present invention is based on the object to create a spectacle frame in which the forces acting only on the temple a vertical or horizontal movement cause a spring force of the bow joint, so the temple joint or the rest of the spectacle frame spare.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruches gelöst.The object underlying the invention will by the characterizing part of the main claim solved.

Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt wird ein Brillengestell vorgeschlagen, an dem die selbst starren Bügel so beweglich angeordnet sind, daß die auf die Brillenbügel einwirkenden Kräfte nicht direkt auf das übrige Brillengestell übertragen werden, sondern lediglich eine Bewegung des Brillenbügels bewirken. Dadurch wird eine Schonung des gesamten übrigen Brillengestelles erreicht und die Lebensdauer eines Brillengestelles verlängert.In other words, an eyeglass frame proposed on which the self-rigid bracket are so flexibly arranged that the on the temple forces not directly on the rest of the glasses frame are transferred, but only cause movement of the temple. This protects the rest of the rest Eyeglass frame reached and the lifespan of one Eyeglass frame extended.

Bezugnehmend auf Fig. 1 ist ein Brillengestell 1 teilweise dargestellt, wobei ein Brillenglas 2 von einer Fassung 3 gehalten wird. Die Fassung 3 wird mittels eines Glasschließblockes 4 zusammengehalten, der eine Fixierschraube 5 aufweist. Selbstverständlich kann der Glasschließblock 4 auch eine andere Form aufweisen bzw. in anderer Art angeordnet sein.1 is an eyeglass frame 1 partially shown, with an eyeglass lens 2 from a version 3 is held. Version 3 is held together by means of a glass closing block 4, which has a fixing screw 5. Of course the glass locking block 4 can also be another Have shape or be arranged in a different way.

An der Fassung 3 ist ein Steg 6 angeordnet, der den Bügel 7 trägt. Bei randlosen Brillen ist es selbstverständlich möglich, daß der Steg direkt am Glas 2 angeordnet ist. Im Kontaktbereich des Steges 6 mit dem Bügel 7 ist ein Gelenk 8 angeordnet, das die vielfache Verstellbarkeit des Bügels 7 ermöglicht.On the version 3, a web 6 is arranged, the Strap 7 carries. With rimless glasses, it goes without saying possible that the web directly on the glass 2 is arranged. In the contact area of the web 6 with the bracket 7, a hinge 8 is arranged, which multiple adjustability of the bracket 7 allows.

Fig. 2 zeigt diesen Kontaktbereich des Steges 6 mit dem Bügel 7 und dem Gelenk 8 in einer vergrößerten Darstellung. Das Gelenk 8 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Grundblock 9, der eine im wesentlichen V-förmige Ausnehmung aufweist, und einem Gleitblock 10, wobei der Grundblock 9 am Steg 6 angeordnet ist, und der Gleitblock 10 am Bügel 7.Fig. 2 shows this contact area of the web 6 with the bracket 7 and the joint 8 in an enlarged Presentation. The joint 8 consists essentially from a basic block 9, which is essentially one V-shaped recess, and a sliding block 10, the base block 9 being arranged on the web 6, and the sliding block 10 on the bracket 7.

Wie aus Fig. 3 erkennbar ist, ist der Grundblock 9 in seinem Inneren hohl, so daß er eine Gelenkkugel 11 aufnehmen kann. Die Gelenkkugel 11 weist an ihrer einen Seite einen Schaft 12 auf, der sich in Richtung des ebenfalls hohlen Gleitblockes 10 erstreckt. An seinem äußeren Ende ist der Schaft 12 mit einem Außengewinde 14 versehen, das eine Klemmschraube 15 trägt. Ein Anziehen der Klemmschraube 15 hat die Wirkung, daß eine auf dem Schaft 12 gelagerte Feder 16 zusammengepreßt wird. Die Feder 16 liegt mit ihrem anderen Ende auf einer Schulter des Gleitblockes 10 auf, so daß bei einem Zusammenpressen der Feder 16 der gesamte Gleitblock 10 an den Grundblock 9 gepreßt wird.As can be seen from FIG. 3, the basic block is 9 hollow inside so that it has a joint ball 11 can accommodate. The joint ball 11 has on it one side of a shaft 12 which fits into Direction of the also hollow slide block 10 extends. The shaft is 12 at its outer end provided with an external thread 14 which is a clamping screw 15 wears. Tightening the clamping screw 15 has the effect that a stored on the shaft 12 Spring 16 is compressed. The spring 16 lies with the other end on one shoulder of the Sliding block 10 so that when pressed together the spring 16, the entire sliding block 10 to the Base block 9 is pressed.

Da der Gleitblock 10 eine V-förmige Spitze hat und der Grundblock 9 eine dementsprechende Ausnehmung aufweist, findet eine Zentrierung des gesamten Bügels 7 in dieser aufgeklappten Tragestellung des Bügels 7 statt. Wenn der Bügel 7 beispielsweise etwas aus dieser Tragestellung herausbewegt wird, so ist er aufgrund der Federkraft bestrebt, in diese Zentrierstellung zurückzukehren.Since the sliding block 10 has a V-shaped tip and the base block 9 has a corresponding recess has a centering of the whole Strap 7 in this opened carrying position of the Temple 7 instead. If the bracket 7 for example something is moved out of this position, so because of the spring force, he strives to get into this Center position to return.

Der Grundblock 9 weist weiterhin ein in Richtung des Bügels 7 offenes Langloch 17 auf, wodurch ein horizontales Schwenken des Bügels 7 um 90° ermöglicht wird, um den Bügel 7 aus seiner Tragestellung in eine Ruhestellung zu bewegen, z. B. wenn die Brille in ein Brillenetui gesteckt werden soll. Durch das Langloch 17 wird eine derartige Schwenkbewegung des Bügels 7 und somit des an der Gelenkkugel 11 befestigten Schaftes 12 ermöglicht. Ohne das Langloch 17 würde eine derartige Bewegung des Schaftes 12 durch die Außenwandungen 18 des Grundblockes 9 behindert.The basic block 9 also has a in the direction of Temple 7 open slot 17, creating a horizontal Allows pivoting of the bracket 7 by 90 ° is in order to the bracket 7 from its carrying position to move a rest position, e.g. B. if the glasses to be put in a glasses case. By the Elongated hole 17 is such a pivoting movement of the Bracket 7 and thus attached to the joint ball 11 Shaft 12 allows. Without the slot 17 would result in such a movement of the shaft 12 hindered by the outer walls 18 of the base block 9.

Bezugnehmend auf Fig. 4 ist der Grundblock 9 im Schnitt dargestellt, an dessen einer Seite der Bügel 7 befestigt ist. Seitlich weist der Grundblock 9 das Langloch 17 auf, und zudem sind an dem in Richtung des Gleitblockes 10 gerichteten Ende des Grundblockes 9 Aussparungen 18 vorgesehen, die eine gewünschte Beweglichkeit des Schaftes 12 im Grundblock 9 sowohl in vertikaler als auch horizontaler Richtung ermöglichen. Ohne diese Aussparungen 18 würde der Schaft 12 schon bei geringer Bewegung des Bügels 7 an die Außenwandungen des Grundblockes 9 stoßen, wodurch eine weitere Bewegung verhindert würde. Selbstverständlich können diese Aussparungen 18 auch in anderer Art und Weise angeordnet sein, falls eine Beweglichkeit des Bügels 7 in andere Richtungen gewünscht wird.4, the basic block 9 is in the Section shown, on one side of the bracket 7 is attached. The base block 9 has this on the side Slot 17 on, and are also in the direction of the sliding block 10 directed end of the basic block 9 recesses 18 are provided that a desired Mobility of the shaft 12 in the base block 9 in both the vertical and horizontal directions enable. Without these recesses 18 would the shaft 12 even with slight movement of the bracket 7 abut the outer walls of the base block 9, which would prevent further movement. Of course, these recesses 18 can also be arranged in a different way, if a movement of the bracket 7 in others Directions is desired.

Weiterhin sind in Fig. 4 die Gelenkkugel 11 und der Schaft 12 erkennbar.4, the joint ball 11 and the Shaft 12 recognizable.

Bezugnehmend auf Fig. 5 wird die Beweglichkeit des Brillenbügels 7 u. a. anhand der Richtungspfeile verdeutlicht. In diesem Beispiel ist der Bügel 7 nach oben gedrückt, jedoch führt dieV-förmige Ausbildung des Grundblockes 9 und des Gleitblockes 10 dazu, daß aufgrund der Federkraft der Feder 16 der Brillenbügel wieder in seine waagerechte Tragestellung zurückgleitet. Wenn der Brillenbügel 7 z. B. einen Schlag von oben erhält, bewegt sich der Brillenbügel 7 in entsprechender Weise nach unten und kehrt auch dann in seine waagerechte Ausgangsstellung zurück. In ähnlicher Weise kann der Bügel 7 in horizontaler Ebene nach außen einer einwirkenden Kraft ausweichen und kehrt auch dann in seine Tragestellung zurück. Wenn ein leichter Druck den Bügel 7 nach innen bewegt, so erfolgt auch dann eine nachfolgende Zentrierung des Bügels 7 in seine Tragestellung. Ist der Druck größer, so verläßt der Gleitblock 10 den Zentrierbereich für die Zentrierung in der Tragestellung und gleitet in eine Aufnahmemulde 19, die die V-förmige Spitze des Gleitblockes 10 aufnimmt. In dieser Position steht der Bügel 7 senkrecht zum Steg 6, und die Brille kann z.B. in ein Brillenetui gelegt werden. Aufgrund der V-förmigen Ausbildung der Aufnahmemulde 19 erfolgt eine Zentrierung des Bügels 7 in der eingeklappten Ruhestellung, wodurch unerwünschte Bewegungen des Bügels 7 vermieden werden.5, the mobility of the Eyeglass temple 7 u. a. using the directional arrows clarifies. In this example the bracket is 7 pushed up, but the V-shaped leads Formation of the basic block 9 and the sliding block 10 that due to the spring force of the spring 16th the temple is back in its horizontal position slides back. If the temple 7 e.g. B. receives a blow from above, moves Eyeglass temple 7 in a corresponding manner down and then returns to its horizontal starting position back. Similarly, the bracket 7 acting in a horizontal plane to the outside Dodge power and then returns his carrying position back. If a slight pressure the bracket 7 moves inward, so it also takes place a subsequent centering of the bracket 7 in his Carrying position. If the pressure is higher, the leaves Sliding block 10 the centering area for centering in the carrying position and slides into one Receiving recess 19, which is the V-shaped tip of the Sliding block 10 picks up. In this position the bracket 7 perpendicular to the web 6, and the glasses can e.g. put in a glasses case. Because of the V-shaped design of the receiving trough 19 is a centering of the bracket 7 in the retracted rest position, causing unwanted Movements of the bracket 7 can be avoided.

Durch ein Anziehen der Klemmschraube 15 wird der Federdruck auf den Gleitblock 10 stufenlos erhöht, was zum einen die Zentrierwirkung des Gelenkes 8 erhöht und was zum anderen zur Folge hat, daß die Kräfte erhöht werden müssen, um den Bügel 7 zu bewegen. Eine härtere Einstellung der Federkraft ist z. B. dann von Vorteil, wenn die Brille z. B. beim Sport besonders stark strapaziert wird und ein fester Sitz der Brille wichtig ist. Nach dem Sport kann die Federkraft in einfacher Weise wieder reduziert werden, wobei diese Einstellungsarbeiten problemlos durchgeführt werden können.By tightening the clamping screw 15 Spring pressure on the sliding block 10 continuously increased, on the one hand, the centering effect of the joint 8 increased and what has the other consequence that the Forces must be increased to move the bracket 7. A harder setting of the spring force is e.g. B. then advantageous if the glasses z. B. at Sport is particularly heavily used and one tight fit of the glasses is important. After the sport the spring force can be reduced again in a simple manner be doing this adjustment work can be done easily.

In dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel liegt die Schraube 15 seitlich offen, wobei die Anordnung des Gelenkes 8 selbstverständlich auch innerhalb des Bügels 7 vorgenommen werden kann, um z. B. ästhetischen Gesichtspunkten gerecht zu werden oder ein Verschmutzen des Gelenkes 8 zu verhindern.In the embodiment shown, the Screw 15 laterally open, the arrangement of the Joint 8 of course also within the Strap 7 can be made to z. B. aesthetic Viewpoints to meet or a To prevent contamination of the joint 8.

Durch die Beweglichkeit der Brillenbügel 7 wird die Belastung z. B. des Glasschließblockes 4 und der Brillengläser 2 bei einem Stoß auf das Brillengestell vermieden, und ein häufiges Nachziehen der Schraube 5 des Glasschließblockes 4 oder am Bügelscharnier ist nicht mehr notwendig.Due to the mobility of the temple 7, the Load z. B. the glass locking block 4 and Eyeglass lenses 2 when hitting the eyeglass frame avoided, and frequent tightening of the Screw 5 of the glass locking block 4 or on the hinge is no longer necessary.

Durch das Gelenk 8 wird ferner ein Verschleißen von Scharnierösen verhindert, das bei herkömmlichen Brillengestellen auftritt. Ferner ist ein Lösen der Scharnierschrauben ausgeschlossen, das bei üblichen Brillengestellen ein häufiges Nachziehen der Scharnierschrauben erforderlich machte. Somit erhöht sich die Haltbarkeit eines mit Gelenken 8 ausgestatteten Brillengestells, auch wenn es zu keinem vorzeitigen Bruch des Brillengestelles kommen sollte.Through the joint 8 is also a wear of Hinge eyes prevent that with conventional Eyeglass frames occur. Furthermore, a loosening of the Hinge screws excluded, the usual Glasses frames a frequent tightening of the hinge screws made necessary. Thus increases the durability of one equipped with joints 8 Glasses frame, even if there is no premature Should break the glasses frame.
